BACKGROUND

The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth due to continuous improvements in the integration density of various electronic components (i.e., transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.). For the most part, this improvement in integration density has come from repeated reductions in minimum feature size, which allows more of the smaller components to be integrated into a given area.

These smaller electronic components also require smaller packages that utilize less area than previous packages. Some smaller types of packages for semiconductors include quad flat pack (QFP), pin grid array (PGA), ball grid array (BGA), flip chips (FC), three dimensional integrated circuits (3DICs), wafer level packages (WLPs), and package on package (PoP) devices. Package on package (PoP) technology is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to allow for denser integration of integrated circuits into a small overall package. In a package manufacturing process, forming openings for connectors plays a critical role. Therefore, the critical size of the opening for a package structure has drawn attention in the industry.

First, with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, in Step S10, a die 102, one or multiple conductive structures 104 and a dielectric layer 112 are provided. The die 102 is encapsulated by an encapsulant 106, the conductive structures 104 are formed aside the die 102, and the dielectric layer 112 is formed overlying the conductive structure 104. In some embodiments, the die 102 is surrounded by the conductive structures 104. In some embodiments, the die 102 may be any suitable integrated circuit chip for a particular application. For example, the die 102 may be a memory chip, such as a DRAM, SRAM, NVRAM, or a logic circuit. Although one die 102 is shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F, a plurality of dies may be encapsulated by the encapsulant 106. In some embodiments, the conductive structure 104 includes a through via 104 a in the encapsulant 106, a redistribution line layer 104 b overlying the through via 104 a, and a seed layer 104 c overlying the redistribution line layer 104 b. Materials of the through via 104 a and the redistribution line layer 104 b include metals such as copper, nickel, solder or combinations thereof. In alternative embodiments, the conductive structure 104 includes barrier layers, such as Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN layers at sidewalls of the through via 104 a. The seed layer 104 c includes copper or titanium. The redistribution line layer 104 b and the seed layer 104 c are optional, and details thereof are described in the following embodiment. Redistribution line layers 110 a and 110 b are formed over both sides of the die 102 to allow, for example, a different pin configuration as well as a larger electrical connection. Similarly, the redistribution line layers 104 b and 110 b are formed over both sides (e.g. upper side and lower side) of the through via 104 a. The redistribution line layers 104 b, 110 a and 110 b are formed in dielectric layers 118 and 120 to be insulated from other components. In some embodiments, the through via 104 a of the conductive structure 104 is further extended into the dielectric layer 118. In some embodiments, a plurality of under-bump metallization (UBM) layers 107 are formed overlying the top level of the redistribution line layers 110 b, and a plurality of connectors 108 such as solder balls are formed over the surface of UBM layers 107. The conductive structures 104 provide electrical connections between the connectors 108 and the connectors (not shown in FIG. 2A) at opposite ends.

The encapsulant 106 encapsulates the die 102 to protect the die 102 from the environment and external contaminants. A material of the encapsulant 106 may include molding compound materials including resin and filler, a photo-sensitive material such as polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), any combination thereof and/or the like. In alternative embodiments, the encapsulant 106 may be formed of a nitride such as silicon nitride, an oxide such as silicon oxide, phosphosilicate glass (PSG), borosilicate glass (BSG), boron-doped phosphosilicate glass (BPSG), any combination thereof and/or the like.

In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 includes, for example, a dielectric layer 112 a and a dielectric layer 112 b. However, in alternative embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 b may be omitted. In other words, the dielectric layer 112 in alternative embodiments has a single-layer structure such as the dielectric layer 112 a shown in FIG. 2A. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 covers the conductive structures 104, and the dielectric layer 112 is also formed above the die 102. That is, the dielectric layer 112 simultaneously covers the tops of the seed layers 104 c of the conductive structures 104 and the top of the redistribution line layer 110 a above the die 102.

In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 a is formed over a carrier (not shown), the dielectric layer 118 is formed over the dielectric layer 112 a, and then the seed layer 104 c and the redistribution line layer 104 b are sequentially formed in the dielectric layer 118 while the redistribution line layers 110 a are formed in the dielectric layer 118. Then, the through vias 104 a are formed above the redistribution layer 104 b by lithography, plating and etching process. Thereafter, the die 102 is placed on the carrier through a die attach film (DAF) 103 and the encapsulant 106 is formed over the carrier to encapsulate the die 102. In some embodiments, the through vias 104 a are then formed through the encapsulant 106 by laser opening and plating process. After forming the redistribution line layer 110 b, the UBM layer 107 and the connectors 108 over the carrier, the package is turned over and debonded from the carrier. The dielectric layer 112 a is formed of a photo-sensitive material such as polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), any combination thereof and/or the like, which may be easily patterned using a lithography mask. In alternative embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 a is formed of a nitride such as silicon nitride, an oxide such as silicon oxide, phosphosilicate glass (PSG), borosilicate glass (BSG), boron-doped phosphosilicate glass (BPSG), any combination thereof and/or the like. The dielectric layer 112 a is formed by suitable fabrication techniques such as spin coating, lamination, deposition and/or the like. A thickness of the dielectric layer 112 a is, for example, in a range of 5-15 μm.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, the dielectric layer 112 b is optionally formed over the dielectric layer 112 a. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 112 b is used for the purpose of a laser mark or warpage suppression and includes a polymer-based material. The dielectric layer 112 b is formed by suitable fabrication techniques such as spin coating, lamination, deposition and/or the like. A thickness of the dielectric layer 112 b is, for example, in a range of 20-40 μm.

Then, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2C, in Step S20, one or multiple openings 114 are formed in the dielectric layer 112 by a laser drilling process LDP. The openings 114 respectively expose surfaces of the conductive structures 104. In some embodiments, the opening 114 exposes, for example, the seed layer 104 c of the conductive structure 104. In some embodiments, the laser drilling process LDP removes a thickness of the dielectric layer 112 larger than 5 μm. The opening 114 formed by the laser drilling process LDP has, for example, a bowl shape. In other words, a bottom area of the opening 114 is smaller than a top area of the opening 114. Specifically, a first included angle θ1 is formed between a bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 and a sidewall 114 a of the opening 114. In some embodiments, the first included angle θ1 is an included angle formed between the bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 a and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 in the dielectric layer 112 a. The first included angle θ1 may be from 15 to 50 degrees. For example, the first included angle θ1 can be, but not limited to, about 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 degrees including any range between any two of the preceding values and any range more than any one of the preceding values. A diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b of the opening 114 is smaller than the diameter d1 of the top of the opening 114. For example, the diameter d1 of the top of the opening 114 is 80-100 μm, the diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b of the opening 114 is 70-90 μm, and a distance d′ by which the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 extends from the inner side to the outer side is 10 μm. That is, there is a significant difference between the diameter d1 of the top of the opening 114 and the diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b of the opening 114. In addition, a plurality of pores and residues 116 are formed on the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 by the laser drilling process LDP. Therefore, the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 is not smooth and has a first roughness Ra1. A top view of the opening 114 has a non-uniform and non-smooth edge, as shown in FIG. 3A, and there are a plurality of pores and residues 116 on the sidewall 114 a. That is, the opening 114 has a poor sidewall shape.

Thereafter, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2D, in Step S30, an etching process EP is performed on the openings 114. Accordingly, the exposed surfaces of the conductive structures 104 are increased. In some embodiments, the etching process EP includes a dry etching process or a wet etching process. The dry etching process is a plasma etching process, which uses a mixture gas including at least one of an oxide-based gas such as O2, Ar, N2, CF4, and NH3. The wet etching process is a rinse process. The etching process EP is mainly for etching the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114. The etching process EP laterally etches the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114, so as to expand the opening 114 outward. Specifically, after performing the etching process EP, a second included angle θ2 is formed between the bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114, and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 becomes steeper. In some embodiments, the second included angle θ2 is an included angle formed between the bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 a and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 in the dielectric layer 112 a. The second included angle θ2 is larger than the first included angle θ1, and the second included angle θ2 is larger than about 60 degrees. The second included angle θ2 may be from 65 to 90 degrees. In some embodiments, the second included angle θ2 of the sidewall 114 a can be, for example but not limited to, about 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 degrees, including any range between any two of the preceding values and any range more than any one of the preceding values.

The diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b and the diameter d1 of the top of the opening 114 are substantially close to each other. Therefore, compared with the opening 114 formed by the laser drilling process LDP in FIG. 2C, the opening 114 in FIG. 2D exposes a larger area of the conductive structure 104. For example, the diameter d1 of the top and the diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b of the opening 114 are respectively in a range of 80-100 μm, and the distance d′ by which the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 extends from the inner side to the outer side is reduced to be smaller than 2 μm. Moreover, the etching process EP removes the dielectric residues 116 formed in the opening 114 by the laser drilling process LDP and etches the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114, so as to significantly reduce the number of the pores and residues on the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114, such that the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 has the second roughness Ra2 that is smaller than the first roughness Ra1. In some embodiments, the opening 114 has a scallop sidewall 114 a. Further, the top view of the opening 114 has a larger critical dimension and a smooth edge without sidewall distortion, as shown in FIG. 3B. It is noted that, compared with openings formed by the lithography or other processes, since the opening 114 is first formed by the laser drilling process LDP, the opening 114 has an edge profile derived from the laser drilling process LDP, and is a slightly non-smooth and non-repeatable edge.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2E, in some embodiments, after performing the etching process EP, the seed layer 104 c exposed by the opening 114 is further removed. Accordingly, the top surface of the redistribution line layer 104 b is exposed by the opening 114 and does not have the seed layer 104 c thereon, and therefore, the seed layer 104 c is located on a portion of the redistribution line layer 104 b. A method of removing the seed layer 104 c is a dry etching process such as a plasma etching process.

As illustrated in FIG. 2E, a package structure 100, which may be called a bottom package structure, includes the die 102 encapsulated by the encapsulant 106, the conductive structures 104 aside the die 102, and the dielectric layer 112 having the openings 114 therein. The opening 114 has a proper critical dimension and thus exposes a larger area of the top of the conductive structure 104. The sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 is a scallop sidewall. The included angle θ2 formed between the bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 is larger than about, for example, 60 degrees.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2F, in some embodiments, the package structure 100 is further electrically coupled to another package structure 200 through the openings 114. In this step, the package structure 200 is aligned so that the connectors 214 of the top package structure 200 are placed on tops of the conductive structures 104 of the bottom package structure 100. Afterwards, the formed package structure is reflowed to form a connection between the conductive structures 104 of the bottom package structure 100 and the connectors 214 of the top package structure 200. In some embodiments, the reflow process is performed using an induction reflow process. In alternative embodiments, however, other reflow processes may also be used. The result is a PoP device 300 as shown in FIG. 2F.

As illustrated in FIG. 2F, another package structure 200, which may be a top package structure, has a substrate 204. A die 202 is mounted on one surface of the substrate 204, which may be the top surface of the substrate 204. In some embodiments, the die 202 is any suitable integrated circuit chip for a particular application. Bond wires 208 are used to provide electrical connections between the die 202 and a set of conductive connectors 206 such as bond pads on the same surface of the substrate 204, which may be the top surface of the substrate 204. Through vias (not shown) may be used to provide electrical connections between the conductive connectors 206 and another set of conductive connectors 212 such as bond pads on an opposing surface of the substrate 204, which may also be the bottom surface of the substrate 204. An encapsulant 210 is formed over the components to protect the components from the environment and external contaminants. A plurality of connectors such as solder balls 214 are formed on the bottom surface of the substrate 204. The connectors 214 are used to connect to another package structure, such as a bottom package structure 100. The connectors 214 are attached to the connectors 212, which may be bond pads, on the bottom of the substrate 204.

The package structure 100 and the package structure 200 are electrically coupled to form a package-on-package (PoP) device 300 as shown in FIG. 2F. A set of connectors such as 214 are disposed on the top surface of the package structure 100. The connectors 214, which may be called as PoP connectors, are disposed according to the site of conductive structures 104 of the bottom package structure 100.

Furthermore, other normal processes may be used to complete the device. For example, the package structure is attached to yet another substrate, such as a printed circuit board (PCB), a high-density interconnect, a silicon substrate, an organic substrate, a ceramic substrate, a dielectric substrate, a laminate substrate, another semiconductor package structure, or the like.

In the above embodiments, the opening 114 is first formed by performing the laser drilling process LDP, and then the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 is treated by the etching process EP. The etching process EP removes residues 116 on the sidewall 114 a, caused in the laser drilling process LDP, and laterally etches the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114, so as to expand the opening 114 outward and increase the included angle θ2 between the bottom surface 113 of the dielectric layer 112 and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114. Since the included angle θ2 is increased to larger than about 60 degrees, the diameter d2 of the bottom 114 b and the diameter d1 of the top of the opening 114 becomes close to each other. Therefore, the formed opening 114 has a smoother edge and a larger critical dimension, e.g. 80-100 μm, without sidewall distortion. Accordingly, the etching process EP improves the problem of distortion of the opening, which results from the increase of the critical dimension of the opening when the laser drilling process LDP is used to form the opening. Since the formed openings 114 have a desired critical dimension and a good profile, the conductive structures 104 of the package structure 100 can be properly exposed. Therefore, when joining the package structure 100 with a device such as the package structure 200, the connectors 214 of the package structure 200 may be filled properly in the openings 114 having a larger size and a good profile, and the conductive structures 104 of the package structure 100 are in good contact with the connectors 214 of the package structure 200. As a result, the electrical connection between the two package structures 100 and 200 is favorable and reliable, and the device 300 formed by stacking the two package structures 100 and 200 has favorable electrical connection and better reliability.

The above embodiments illustrate an example where the seed layer 104 c exposed by the opening 114 is removed. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4A, the seed layer 104 c is retained. That is, in a package structure 100 a formed in some embodiments, the opening 114 exposes the seed layer 104 c of the conductive structure 104. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, when forming a PoP device 300 a by joining the package structure 100 a and the package structure 200, the connectors 214 of the package structure 200 are bonded to the conductive structures 104 through the seed layer 104 c.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5A, the top of the conductive structure 104 does not include the redistribution line layer 104 b shown in FIG. 2A. That is, in a package structure 100 b formed in some embodiments, the conductive structure 104 includes the through via 104 a and the seed layer 104 c overlying the through via 104 a. Similarly, there is no redistribution line layer above the die 102. Moreover, the seed layer 104 c exposed by the opening 114 is removed after performing the etching process EP on the opening 114. Thus, the opening 114 in the package structure 100 b exposes the through via 104 a. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5B, when forming a PoP device 300 b by joining the package structure 100 b and the package structure 200, the connectors 214 of the package structure 200 are in direct contact with the through vias 104 a. In other words, the package structure 200 directly joints on the through vias 104 a of the package structure 100 b. In alternative embodiments (not shown), the conductive structure 104 may include the through via 104 a, and does not include the seed layer 104 c as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B.

The above embodiments illustrate examples where the opening 114 exposes a partial top surface of the conductive structure 104, that is, the bottom area of the opening 114 is substantially smaller than the top area of the conductive structure 104. However, it should be noted that the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the process of forming the openings 114, at least one of the laser drilling process LDP and the etching process EP removes the encapsulant 106 around the top of the conductive structure 104, so as to expose an upper sidewall 105 of the conductive structure 104. In other words, in a package structure 100 c formed in some embodiments, the size of the opening 114 is larger than a top size of the conductive structure 104, wherein a distance d between the edge of the conductive structure 104 and the sidewall 114 a of the opening 114 is in a range of 5-20 μm. In some embodiments, the conductive structure 104 includes, for example, the through via 104 a. Thus, the upper sidewall 105 and the entire top surface of the through via 104 a are exposed. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6B, when forming a PoP device 300 c by joining the package structure 100 c and the package structure 200, the connectors 214 of the package structure 200 are in direct contact with the through vias 104 a of the package structure 100 c. For example, the connectors 214 are in direct contact with the top surfaces and the upper sidewalls 105 of the through vias 104 a. In other words, the package structure 200 directly joints on the through vias 104 a. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7A, in a package structure 100 d, the through via 104 a further has the seed layer 104 c thereon, such that the opening 114 exposes the seed layer 104 c and the upper sidewall 105 of the through via 104 a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, when forming a PoP device 300 d by joining the package structure 100 d and the package structure 200, the connectors 214 of the package structure 200 are in contact with the through vias 104 a through the seed layers 104 c. That is, the connectors 214 are in contact with the top surface of the seed layers 104 c and the upper sidewalls 105 of the through vias 104 a of the package structure 100 d.

In the above embodiments, the openings are formed in the dielectric layer by sequentially performing the laser drilling process and the etching process, such that the sidewall of the opening has a small roughness, and an included angle between the bottom surface of the dielectric layer and the sidewall of the opening is larger than about 60 degrees. Accordingly, the opening has a larger critical dimension, e.g. 80-100 μm, and a smooth edge without sidewall distortion. Hence, the etching process improves the problem of distortion of the opening, which results from the increase of the critical dimension of the opening when the laser drilling process is used to form the opening. Since the formed opening has a desired critical dimension and a good profile, the conductive structures of the package structure that are exposed by the openings are in good contact with the connectors of another device such as a package structure. As a result, the electrical connection between the package and another device is favorable and reliable, and the device formed by stacking the package and another device has favorable electrical connection and better reliability. Furthermore, using the laser drilling process and the etching process to the packaging process to form the openings would not significantly change the manufacturing steps or greatly increase the production costs, and throughput for the openings having a larger critical dimension is significantly improved.

The conductive structure includes a through via in the encapsulant, a redistribution line layer overlying the through via, and a seed layer overlying the redistribution line layer.
